Father Nicholas Gruner, RIP

By now you probably heard about the sudden death of Father Nicholas Gruner. He died of an apparent heart attack on April 29 around 7:00 pm while working at his office in Fort Erie.

Father Gruner was truly the world expert on Fatima. I can say this as one who worked closely with him for over 20 years. He was more knowledgeable on this subject, and on the true nature of the Fatima Message than anyone else. His devotion to Our Lady was strong and genuine.Please remember Father Gruner in your prayers, a good personal friend and a true Catholic Crusader.

In the Immaculate Heart,John Vennari
